Carpenter City Attorney, City of Little Rock. **Signs every resolution and ordinance in the [[CLR-2026-778]] corpus** under "APPROVED AS TO LEGAL FORM" — i.e., the City Attorney's legal-form review of the Board-passed and Mayor-signed measures. Supervises Senior Deputy City Attorney [[Sherri Latimer]]. ## Role and affiliations - City Attorney, Office of the City Attorney, [[City of Little Rock]]. - Supervises the Office of the City Attorney including Senior Deputy City Attorney [[Sherri Latimer]]. ## Appearances in the corpus - **2022-09-06** — Signed Resolution 15,763 "APPROVED AS TO LEGAL FORM."

(Tier-1 corpus, Watchguard M500 Vehicle Kit Purchase Resolution FINAL.txt) ## Notes - The "APPROVED AS TO LEGAL FORM" signature is the City Attorney's procedural certification that the resolution/ordinance text is legally drafted, not a substantive endorsement of the policy. It is a routine City Attorney function for every Board measure. - The Senior Deputy review of substantive contracts (e.g., the [[Sherri Latimer]] EULA memo on Flock) is the parallel substantive-review function — flagging risk in contract provisions for the City Manager's decision. - The corpus does not document Carpenter authoring substantive contract-review memoranda; those appear to be Latimer's role.
